Construction safety with RFID
system
Construction sites are challenging
environments to manage
with the many critical issues
like asset management, tool tracking, production safety
as well as worker safety. To
meet these challenges, more and more construction
companies and site contractors are
integrating Radio Frequency Identification
(RFID) technology in their day-to-day operation of
construction sites
and projects.
The occupational accident rates in the
construction industry are always higher than that in any
other industries because of the
uncertainty in labor behaviors and working environments.
Safety management could not be easily carried out due
to the open
environment and dynamic events at all times in construction sites.
Therefore, serious accidents happen with these
complex reasons.
The adaptability of RFID technology
in construction industry helps
to solve these serious problems.
Personal Warning System
Our Active RFID tag is
developed based on Active RFID
technology that can sense
and monitor the worker¡¦s
location or working area
within the detecting zone. A
worker only have to carry an Active RFID tag with buzzer
and when they enter into a dangerous area, the tag will
raise alarm to warn the operator and supervisor
accordingly.
Real-time tracking and locating
system
The wireless communication protocol can
satisfy requirement of RFID communication rate in
construction sites. Also, the new safety device of
active alarming equipped with RFID tag provides
not only personal protection but also real-time sensing
and monitoring for management.
The location identification module
can provide working route tracking and suit the
condition of construction sites. Our
active RFID reader can read 9m to 50m radius depends on
tuning and the real environment. The active tag can help
you identify the current location of worker. If they are
in the dangerous area, the worker ID and location would
be shown to the supervisor for further actions.
The supervisor can periodically
review the record and analysis the working condition of
each worker. They can give advice to the dangerous
workers in order to reduce the accident rates.
Wide Applications
Besides, the active RFID tag can be
used on vehicles or other machines in the construction
site. Therefore, when the drivers enter the dangerous
area; the supervisor would be notified.
RFID technology will
bring management in construction industry more control
over safety in sites with advanced testing of stability
and longevity on the Active equipments. Wireless
transition integrated with database would make the
device more efficient and accurate. This new safety
device can monitor safety condition of labors and
contractors and provide security and emergency control
for dynamic and working environment.
